Strategic Thinking

The men and women who advanced organizational thinking in theory and practice.

This paper approaches leadership by looking at it through the lens of history, and by presenting more than thirty notable men and women who enriched and shaped the way we perceive leadership today. Frederick Taylor starts the list and is acknowledged as the one who defined and consolidated the main characteristics of management. Mary Parker Follett follows and she is braced as the prophet of leadership who argued for a human relations approach that was decades ahead of its time. Open the slides to find out more about these selected heroes and their core contributions to leadership.
